[Spoilers] Ibuprofen and Eyeglasses: Thoth plays a Middle Aged game

[Thoth]

Scooter detonated his cultural nuke in his expansion city.

I think he will flip it but I'm not sure how much revolt protection 2 longbows give. In any event, I'm pretty sure Commodore isn't happy about it.

Finally have trade route connection to Commodore so I sent him Fish for Fish as a sign that we should both be doing happy builder type stuff.

[Thoth]

Commodore returned Fish for Fish so there will indeed be Peace in Our Time. 

[Thoth]

Ganked a Barb worker this turn: 





And got a nice event at end of turn:




Not a tile I can currently work but I'll be founding a city in the area in a few turns so it's all good.  In the meantime, extra happiness is always handy.

Ui, this is a event which can crash map balance - okay, mines can to it too and they aren't stoppable.

Do you plan something wiht the loaded galley ?

[Thoth]

1st order of business is ferrying home my new worker.

After that I need to do some more scouting around the inner sea.

[Thoth]

Civstats says Commodore burnt a size 2 city of Scooters.  At a guess it was the culture bomb city. 

[Thoth]

Well, it wasn't Scooter's mega culture city that Commodore burnt.  Might have been a recent settle?  In either event, Commodore double whipped 3x for Keshiks and is chopping every forest in sight. 


This morning I ganked another barb worker:






I'll update this afternoon's turn in a separate post.





Well, it wasn't Scooter's mega culture city that Commodore burnt.

[Thoth]

Way back around t29 after Scooter had bulbed Civil Service, started whipping mass settlers, and scored the Music merchant I sent Commodore Fish for Fish as I reported earlier.

What I didn't report was that I also sent him "War with Scooter for War with Scooter and 12 g".  Commodore echoed it back and so we were on track for a t41 strike on Scooter.  My intended strike force was to have been 3 galleys and a trireme with 4 Swordsmen (5 xp each), an axeman, and a longbow upgraded from Halberd's archer.

But then Scooter went and DOWed Commodore.  I'm guessing it was intended as a "War/Peace"  deal for 10t of locked in peace but I don't know what exactly happened there other than Commodore razing a size 2 Scooter city (Scooter had 6 at the time).


So I was not quite ready to open up the dancefloor but I was well on my way.


This turn I burnt Scooter's capital to the ground with a Combat 2, Amphibious swordsman at 43% odds.  Had he failed, I had a Combat 1 axe on board to clean up with.





and another turn, another ganked worker (#3 for those keeping score):





Fun times!

[Thoth]

[Krill]

Is that a 3 or a 4 move galley?

Either way, nicely done. Now what's the plan?
